Artwork Description

In my garden, the red gladioli stand tall and proud. Each stem rises with elegant determination, lined with tightly packed blooms that gradually unfurl into bold, trumpet-shaped flowers. The rich red hue brings an intense splash of colour among the surrounding greenery. Delicate yet fierce, these gladioli sway gently, their sword-like leaves adding a dramatic flair to their stately presence. They’re not just flowers—they're a statement, a fiery celebration of summer’s peak in my garden.

To fully capture the Gladioli rich, vibrant colour, I used drafting film with professional artist coloured pencils.

Artist Bio

For me, drawing is nurturing, empowering and a therapeutic escape from the daunting realities of life. From picking up the pencil as a young girl, to escaping into my art in the present, it has become wholeheartedly ingrained in me and part of who I am. I introduce myself as a Representational Artist. While the end result of my creating may seem like realism, it is in fact just a representation of what I have perceived as real.

I have gathered my skills from constant practice, engaging with other artists and experimenting with various techniques. Throughout the years I've discovered my love for the detail I can create using pencils, whether it's coloured, pastel, graphite or charcoal. Pencils allow me to take control of what emerges from my blank surface. Creating an animal or landscape that comes to life is mesmerising, I crave to see what textures, shadows, forms, lines and tones will merge together to create a life-like piece of art. I love hearing from my clients that my art has transported them into the eyes of the subject or they have found peace and happiness just by seeing the work on their wall.
